(2008): Distribution and ecology of the Gasteromycete fungi - orders Phallales and Sclerodermatales in the Republic of Macedonia. Proceedings of the III Congress of Ecologists of the Republic of Macedonia with International Participation, 06-09.10.2007, Struga. Special issues of Macedo- nian Ecological Society, Vol. 8, Skopje. This is the first paper on systematic research on the gasteromycetes belonging to orders Phallales and Scle- rodermatales in the Republic of Macedonia. Within the researches in the Republic of Macedonia 15 species have been recorded: Clathrus ruber, Mutinus caninus, Phallus hadriani, P. impudicus, Astraeus hygrometricus, Pisoli- thus arhizus, Scleroderma areolatum, S. bovista, S. cepa, S. citrinum, S. meridionale, S. polyrhizum, S. septentri- onale, S. verrucosum and Sphaerobolus stellatus. The following four species are new for Macedonia: Phallus had- riani, Scleroderma bovista, S. cepa and S. polyrhizum. Two species are part of the Preliminary Red List of Macro- mycetes in the Republic of Macedonia - Clathrus ruber and Mutinus caninus. Pisolithus arhizus is a species from Appendix I of Bern Convention.

In addition to being fine mycological books in their own right, they have a great provenance, coming from the libraries of several members of the Fries family – the leading botanist and mycologist family in Sweden. All of the books are from the library of Nils Fries (1912–94), many from that of his grandfather Theodor (Thore) M. Fries (1832–1913), and a few from the library of Nils’ great grandfather Elias M. Fries (1794–1878), “fa- ther of Swedish mycology”. All three were botanists and professors at Uppsala University, as were many other members of the family, often with an orientation towards mycology. Nils Fries field of study was the procreation of mushrooms. Furthermore, Nils Fries has had a partiality for interesting provenances in his purchases – and many international mycologists are found among the former owners of the books in the catalogue. Four of the books are inscribed to Elias M. Fries, and it is probable that more of them come from his collection. Thore M.

Stinkhorns spotted in fields Abstract John Holmes, extension field crop specialist, reported that farmers are finding lots of stinkhorn mushrooms in soybean fields as they harvest. These fungi do not cause disease to plants or animals, but instead live a harmless existence on dead organic matter such as crop debris. They also are commonly found on decaying mulch. A stinkhorn begins life as an egg-like structure.

Although this species was previously recorded from India, these reports did not include detailed morphological descriptions. Here we describe C. delicatus and provide illustrations and notes on fruitbody development, which has not been well characterized in the past. Key words — Phallaceae, peridial suture, primordia, sporoma, volva-gel Introduction Members of Phallales, commonly called stinkhorns, produce foul-smelling fruitbodies that attract insects. Their distinctive odor is produced by a combination of chemicals such as hydrogen sulfide and methyl mercaptan (List & Freund 1968). Stinkhorns typically develop very quickly, often within few hours, with the spore bearing structures (receptacles) emerging from globose to ovoid structures called ‘myco-eggs’ (Lloyd 1906, Pegler et al. 1995). The order Phallales comprises 2 families, 26 genera, and 88 species (Kirk et al. 2008). Clathroid members of family Phallaceae form multipileate receptacles (Gäumann 1952) with beautiful and bright colored sporomata. Clathrus is unique in having latticed, hollow, spherical or stellate receptacles with slimy glebae (spore masses) borne on their inner surfaces (Pegler et al.

  • Analysis of the Morphology and Growth of the Fungus Phallus Indusiatus Vent
    ISSN: 0975-8585 Research Journal of Pharmaceutical, Biological and Chemical Sciences Analysis of the morphology and growth of the fungus Phallus indusiatus Vent. in Cocoa Plantation, Gaperta-Ujung Medan. Rama R Sitinjak* Faculty of Agrotechnology, Prima Indonesia University, Medan-Indonesia. ABSTRACT This research aimed to analyze the morphological characteristics and growth of the Phallus indusiatus Vent. which belong to the group Stinkhorn fungi. The method used is survey and description. This fungi grows individually, appear twice in one year on the ground that a pile of cocoa leaves that have died, during the heavy rainy season ends. The fungi was first found growing in the area of cocoa plantations in the village Gaperta-Ujung Medan, ie on August 6, 2013, around 9.00 am. Phallus indusiatus have major macroscopic morphological characteristics, namely the fruiting body has a height of ±19.13 cm, hood (cap or pileus) shaped brown cony and the side grooves with a width of ± 3 cm, and a height ± 2.6 cm, yellowish cream-colored gleba, has a white circular ring at the center of the stem, the stem (stalk or stipe) chewy white, cylindrical, cup (volva) gray that secrete mucus such as jellies, have a section that resembles roots (mycelium), has a coat or indusium such a network is creamy white and turned into golden yellow when wilting, that described from the bottom of the cap to the base of the stem. The process of growth and development of mushroom fruit body this happens starting from the egg stage (takes about 24 hours), and the budding stage, maturation stage, the stage of wilting (death) (third last stage of this only takes about 5 hours).

  • Una Nueva Especie De Clathrus (Eumycota, Phallales)1
    BOLETIN DE LA SOCIEDAD ARG'ENTINA DE BOTANICA 24 (1-2): 131-136, Julio, 1985 UNA NUEVA ESPECIE DE CLATHRUS (EUMYCOTA, PHALLALES)1 Por LAURA S. DOMINGUEZ DE TOLEDO2 SUMMARY A new species Clathrus argentinus L. Domínguez (ser. Latemoid) is des¬ cribed and illustrated. It has been found in the Provinces of Jujuy and Córdo¬ ba in Argentina; This is the fourth species recorded for the Argentine territory. The species bears affinities with Clathrus ruber Micheli ex Persoon from which it differs by its free columns (vertical arms), the occurrence of a glebifer and the nature of the arms tubes. Con motivo de mi trabajo de tesis sobre Gasteromycetes del centro de Argentina he tenido la ocasión de estudiar materiales que han resultado pertenecer a una nueva especie, que creo conveniente dar a conocer. Clathrus argentinus L. Domínguez nov. sp. (Fig. 1 A-P) Volva albido-eburnea, alutacea, 1-3 cm lata, 1,2-3,3 cm alta, infeme reticulata. Receptaculum obovatum, clatratum, 2,5-6 cm altum, 1,7-3,7 cm latum, roseosalmoneum, 6-7 columnisad basem disjunctis et una rete formatum; interstitiis minoribus in ápice (pen¬ tagons vel hexagonis), verticali modo elongatis ad basem; ramis ovoides, numerosS tubis, parvioribus in facie abaxiale, maioribus intemS formats.

Micheli ex Pers. in Romania, and Notes on its Distribution in Southeastern Europe Ciprian Bîrsan1*, Constantin Mardari1, Ovidiu Copoţ1, Cătălin Tănase2 1 - A. Fătu Botanical Garden, Alexandru Ioan Cuza University of Iaşi, 7-9 Dumbrava Roşie, 700487 Iaşi, ROMANIA 2 - Faculty of Biology, Alexandru Ioan Cuza University of Iaşi, Carol I 20A, 700505 Iaşi, ROMANIA *Corresponding author: [email protected] Abstract. In this short note, the fungal species Clathrus ruber is reported for the second time in Romania, 60 years after the first record. It was identified in the northeastern part of the country, in Iaşi region, in a Lolium sward from a private garden. Twenty fruitbodies were counted between June and October 2020. It is not known how the species was brought into the garden. Key words: stinkhorns, rare species, distribution, new occurrence. Introduction on sandy and calcareous soils, in coniferous Clathrus ruber P. Micheli ex Pers. (syn. forests (Mallorca, Sardinia, Corsica), but also C. cancellatus Tourn. ex Fr.) is one of the two on the French Atlantic coast (Breitenbach & species of the genus Clathrus (Phallaceae, Kränzlin, 1986; Gerhardt, 1999). It is a Phallales) that have been identified in species with a Mediterranean origin, Romania (besides C. archeri (Berk.) Dring occurring throughout the year in southern (Bereş, 1996)). The species was first France. Sporadic occurrences have been described by the Italian botanist Pier reported in Central Europe. The species is Antonio Micheli in 1729 (Micheli, 1729).

    Speaker for September 19 Mycena News MSSF Meeting The Mycological Society of San Francisco September, 2006, vol 57:09 MycoDigest: Pioneers of California Mycology: W.A. Murrill and the Fungi of the Pacific Coast Peter Werner In previous MycoDigest columns, we’ve focused on recent discoveries in myco- logical science. Upcoming columns will continue in this vein, but in this column, I want to introduce a new series of articles I’m calling “Pioneers of California Mycology”, Jennifer Kerekes focusing on the early discoverers and contributors to our knowledge of the mycota of California. This knowledge is the result of over a century of mycological Jennifer Kerekes, a graduate exploration by both academic mycologists and serious amateurs. All of our distinct student at San Francisco State California species and collecting spots were once unknown and undescribed and University and winner of the MSSF there are interesting stories to be told about their discovery. In future columns, I will scholarship, will be our speaker at cover the stories of HW Harkness, Lee Bonar, Elizabeth Morse, William Bridge the September general meeting. She Cooke, Harry Thiers, and other great figures who made invaluable contributions to will be presenting the results of her California mycology over the years. master’s thesis on the genus Crinipellis from Southeast Asia under the William Alphonso Murrill is one of the great names in the history of mycology, direction of Dr. Dennis Desjardin. having over the course of his career, founded the journal Mycologia, published dozens Her talk will also include a basic of papers, originated scores of new names of fungal taxa, and traveled extensively to introduction to different molecular describe the mycota of Europe and the Americas.
